How to get a snippet from URL

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 14.2010

Hello,

I wonder how to get a snippet from a url.

For example:

If the url = domain.com/Menu_item_1 the menu has to be …

[B]Menu item 1[/B] – Menu item 2 – Menu item 3

… but if the url = domain.com/Menu_item_3 the menu has to be …

Menu item 1 – Menu item 2 – [B]Menu item 3[/B]

So I thought to add an .active css class to the menu item which is active according to the URL … or isn’t it the best way to accomplish this?

I’m rather a beginner so I don’t know the conventional way to do stuff like this? But I’m eager to learn ?

@MindzaiMar 14.2010 — I would probably do this via mod_rewrite and have the value written to a query string variable. Otherwise you could explode() $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and use in_array() to check if the part is in the URL.
